O filme conta três histórias de amor diferentes: Michael (Liam Neeson) é um escritor veterano, que acaba de romper com a esposa (Kim Basinger) e viaja a Paris, buscando novas histórias. Ele encontra na aspirante a escritora Anna (Olivia Wilde) uma amante e uma inspiração, devido ao passado sombrio da garota. O empresário Scott (Adrien Brody) está passeando por Roma, quando conhece a misteriosa cigana Monica (Moran Atias) e simpatiza com sua perigosa busca para reencontrar a filha pequena. Julia (Mila Kunis) é uma jovem mãe, traumatizada após perder a guarda do filho para o ex-marido famoso (James Franco), e conta com a ajuda da advogada Theresa (Maria Bello) nesta batalha judicial.
The film begins with a knuckle-head playboy (Preston Foster) working on a road crew dressed in a tux in order to win a bet. Apparently, this guy will take on any bet or act on a whim. This becomes very apparent when he disrupts a food giveaway hosted by the mayor's daughter and as a result of this, he announces he's running for mayor--though he seems very much apolitical and has no interest in the job. Later, when he once again meets up with the mayor's daughter (Joan Fontaine) they supposedly fall in love--although there seemed to be little chemistry between them and it made very little sense for Fontaine to suddenly love a guy she so quickly hated at the beginning of the film. Plus, she really had plenty of reason to dislike the guy.
An eccentric Parisian woman's optimistic perception of life begins to sound more rational than the rather traditional beliefs of others.
